Chaps - The correct pattern of BD for the period is BATTLEDRESS SERGE which, as I'm sure you know, was slightly different in design to the classic perceived '37 pattern BD... For the blouse, the collar was unlined... The buckle was not a friction buckle... And the chest pockets were positioned lower... For the trousers, the first field dressing pocket was single pleat with no button...

Steve Kiddle of Pegasus Militaria does repro sets... I have also heard good things about PANTHER STORE (listed as 37 Pattern)...

If we could get the interest, I could approach a supplier for a discount on a bulk order... At present, there seems to be a preference for PANTHER STORE.

Let me know if you are interested...

INTEREST TO BE EXPRESSED BY 30/11/2014 WITH SIZINGS PLEASE.

Regards,

Pete

I would favour Panther Store over Kiddle at the moment. was impressed with kiddle's new serge but was put off by the way its been put together at the moment. Has a SOF look of it at present so dunno who he has go making the sets up at the mo.

I have a set of 37 Pattern Serge from Panther store and can't fault it. And would recommend it that for the moment as a bulk purchase option.

I've just looked at the Panther Store an they look good and I'm amending the uniform regs accordingly. Thanks, Trunks... I'll send you the regs in draft for the once-over as well... I'd appreciate your thoughts...

Any thoughts on getting early war groundsheet capes made up? Kiddle doesn't do them any more... Can't get the material, apparently.

I would be looking to get another battle dress for this as the one I have is a little big. I was going to get one from Panther Store as I recently got a 40 pattern one from them and was impressed with the quality etc.

Therefore if you are looking at doing a large group purchase please put my name don as I am interested.

I've amended the original post above... Deadline for expression of interest 30/11/14 with sizing a to be provided please. We'll go PANTHER STORE for the supplier as this seems to be people's preference.
